Ridin’dirty indeed. Check out David Spade’s 1969 Dodge Hemi Charger Daytona he recently bought at Mecum’s Auctions. TMZ outed Spade as the top bidder, winning the car for $900K, the highest ever paid for a Daytona.

A far cry from the fake Daytona he drove in the movie “Joe Dirt,” this real deal Mopar has just 6435 miles on the clock and is one of 503 built and one of only 20 equipped with the 426 Hemi V-8. It was also formerly a ISCA show car with a wild paneled custom paint job but was repainted to the correct T5 Copper and white bumblebee stripe. Adding to it’s value is a list of celebrity owners including Greg Williams, Donald Klumpp, famed collector Otis Chandler, NFL All Pro linebacker Kevin Greene and Wellborn Musclecar Museum proprietor Tim Wellborn.

Restoration was handled by Roger Gibson in 1988 and has held up well. Options include bucket seats with headrests, center console, Rallye gauge cluster, deluxe steering wheel, remote driver’s mirror, pushbutton radio, power steering and brakes and Redline tires.

Gibson states, “In my opinion this car is the best example of a 4-Speed Hemi Daytona in existence. It was not a typical restoration; it didn’t need very much. When it came in it showed 5,977 miles; it had custom paint because it had competed in the World of Wheels. It led a very sheltered life that contributed to its stunning condition. The original fender tag was still on the car. The fenders had never been removed or the engine opened up; the Hemi didn’t need to be rebuilt. We stripped the car, replaced the trunk floor and hood and painted it. The interior is original except for carpet and headliner. We brought a different philosophy to Mopar restoration, hunting parts with correct numbers and date codes. It was a turning point in Mopar restoration practice because it was done to a new standard that wasn’t used before. Over the past 30 years, we learned it is the best example of a 4-speed Hemi Daytona in the Mopar hobby. After the restoration Otis sold the car to Kevin Greene, and he put just 500 miles on the car before selling it.”

Spade told US Weekly “I don’t even know if I will drive this car around. It’s too nice for me. I’m just going to wake up every morning and spray it with Armor All. Or I’ll just drive it to the Beverly Center and stand on the hood.”

With “Joe Dirt 2-Beautiful Loser” debuting later this year on Crackle, maybe he can drive his shiny copper missile to the premiere. Easy chocking up miles though as that’s a key factor of the cars  value.
